It looks like they are making the change from the first ones into the 2nd ones.

It does. I just got mine a few weeks ago and they bulge a little but I think that just makes them even more badass.

Looks are fine, but safety is the most important.

9" rim width is recommended for a 275 tire.

Your altering the wear and handling charachteristics of the tire when you change the flexpoint of the sidewalls. Hence, the bulge.
